Transitional cell papilloma of the bladder in a child: a case report and review of literature.
Transitional cell papillomas of the bladder are tumours of epithelial origin that are extremely rare in children. A large number have been found to be sited adjacent to one of the ureteric orifices. They are benign and endoscopic excision has been considered curative; however, the rate of recurrence reported in the literature is fairly high, with the earliest recurrence being at 3 months. We report the case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with the rare lesion situated just above the right ureteric orifice.
